Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Jaconé. The forecast kicks off Thursday the 16th of July with a small, rideable swell. The water temp is 72°, right on average for the time of year, so no surprises.

Thursday afternoon sees a 4ft swell from the southeast, period around 10 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (334). It’s clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, so don’t expect too much.

Friday the 17th is better. Morning offers a clean 3ft southeasterly swell with a 10-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the north-northeast at 6 mph. That’s a good combo for some fun waves. The combined energy is moderate (343). The afternoon drops a bit to 3ft, still clean.

Saturday the 18th morning brings more size – 5ft from the east-northeast, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit messy. The energy is moderate (434). The wind is cross-offshore, still clean. The afternoon fades to 2ft; not worth it.

Now, Sunday the 19th morning is the first real highlight. A solid 6ft from the east-northeast, 8-second period, with a clean offshore breeze from the northeast at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong (548). This is the best of the first week – clean, consistent, with some punch. The afternoon drops off.

Monday the 20th morning is another good one: 5ft from the east-northeast, 8 seconds, light offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (393). Clean.

The middle of the week is quiet. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are small and flat, with energy dropping below 100 at times. Thursday the 23rd sees a shift to a 3ft swell from the south-southwest, 9 seconds, with glassy conditions in the morning. A rare calm moment, but tiny.

Friday the 24th morning is glassy again with a 3ft south swell at 9 seconds – energy is moderate (250), clean. The afternoon turns poor with onshore wind.

Here’s the real standout. Saturday the 25th morning delivers a 6ft south swell, 10-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the north-northeast. The combined energy jumps to 608 – strong. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The afternoon gets even bigger – 7ft from the south, 12-second period, but the wind turns cross-offshore and the energy is massive (1547). That’s a serious swell, but it’s pushing into expert territory, especially for a beach break. The long period means better waves but longer lulls.

Sunday the 26th is big but messy. 8ft south swell at 13 seconds in the morning, but with cross-onshore wind. The energy is huge (1759), but the wind chops it up. Not great for paddle surfing; this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing.

The following week fades. Monday the 27th morning is glassy with a 4ft south swell, 11 seconds – clean, but small. The rest of the days are tiny, with occasional clean windows but nothing exciting. The 30th of July has a 4ft south swell with a very long 14-second period, but a cross-onshore wind spoils it.

Overall, the best on offer is Sunday the 19th morning for a solid, clean, fun session, and Saturday the 25th morning for the biggest, cleanest swell of the period – but that one’s for experienced surfers only.
